After reading this letter, you will never again be able to trust Larian Studios, and you will see with crystal clarity the way that raising the volume, increasing the stridency, or stressing the emotionalism of an argument does not improve its validity. To start, its paroxysms are not witty satire, as Larian Studios would have you believe. They're simply the ruthless ramblings of something that has no idea or appreciation of what it's mocking. Larian Studios has nothing but contempt for you, and you don't even know it. That's why I feel obligated to inform you that many people respond to its jealous revenge fantasies in the same way that they respond to television dramas. They watch them; they talk about them; but they feel no overwhelming compulsion to do anything about them. That's why I insist we encourage individuals to come out of their cocoons and flourish. I insist that Larian Studios hopes to finance a propaganda of intensive deception that induces sane and sober people to vilify our history, character, values, and traditions, even though that presupposes a dialectical intertwinement to which a feeble-minded turn of mind is impervious. Okay, that was a facetious statement. This one is not: I can reword my point as follows. Facts and their accuracy make a story, not the overdramatization of whatever Larian Studios dreams up. Guess what? Larian Studios's proposed social programs are a mere cavil, a mere scarecrow, one of the last shifts of a desperate and dying cause.

Unless we make technical preparations for the achievement of freedom and human independence, no real changes will ever occur. Am I saying that it is irresponsible to accept everything at face value? Yes. That at the end of this journey, I want to be able to say that I tried my best to make a genuine contribution to human society? Maybe. That Larian Studios is offended by anything that might suggest that there are many illustrations of this? Definitely.

Larian Studios's claim that we can all live together happily without laws, like the members of some 1960s-style dope-smoking commune, is factually unsupported and politically motivated. My intention here is not just to introduce an important, but underrepresented, angle on Larian Studios's materialistic double standards, but also to view the realms of Trotskyism and negativism not as two opposing poles, but as two continua. In the past, when I complained that Larian Studios was attempting to reap a harvest of death, I was told that I was just being illiterate. But nowadays, people realize that in public, it vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody's looking, it never fails to break down traditional values.

It is easy to see from the foregoing that Larian Studios functions not as a social critic, but as an unoriginal imitator of the ruling ideologues. The denial of this fact only proves the effrontery, and also the stupidity, of what I call immoral blowhards. A real fight against discourteous, debauched McCarthyism can be undertaken only if a basic change in social conditions makes it possible to build bridges where in the past all that existed were moats and drawbridges. At the risk of sounding a tad redundant, let me add that I become impatient with people who refuse to recognize the key role that Larian Studios is playing in the destruction of our civilization. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that all of its apothegms share elements of traditional, unbridled conspiracy themes in which mad chiselers secretly keep us perennially behind the eight ball? Larian Studios's campaigns are popular among the most obstinate lunatics I've ever seen, but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to accept them. Sadly, in once sense, Larian Studios is correct. If we let it bribe the parasitic with the earnings of the productive, then I will definitely be forced to go into hiding. While the concept of broad-based peace and social justice coalitions remains desirable, Larian Studios tries to make its accusations more palatable by wrapping them in rhetoric about the need to protect the interests of the disadvantaged and the downtrodden. Now, that's a strong conclusion to draw just from the evidence I've presented in this letter. So let me corroborate it by saying that I myself don't care what others say about Larian Studios. It's still irritable, disgraceful, and it intends to commit acts of immorality, dishonesty, and treason.

It's honestly a tragedy that Larian Studios's goal in life is apparently to abandon me on a desert island. Here, I use the word "tragedy" as the philosopher Whitehead used it. Whitehead stated that "the essence of dramatic tragedy is not unhappiness. It resides in the solemnity of the remorseless working of things," which I interpret as saying that we have a number of problems for which Larian Studios bears most of the responsibility. Whatever weight we accord to that fact, we may be confident that the more we give Larian Studios, the more it wants. I always catch hell whenever I say something like that, so let me assure you that the purpose of this letter is far greater than to prove to you how venom-spouting and slimy it has become. The purpose of this letter is to get you to start thinking for yourself, to start thinking about how what we're involved in with it is not a game. It's the most serious possible business, and every serious person -- every person with any shred of a sense of responsibility -- must concern himself with it. In hearing about Larian Studios's allegations, one gets the distinct impression that the central paradox of Larian Studios's cajoleries, the twist that makes Larian Studios's modes of thought so irresistible to treacherous hell-raisers, is that these people truly believe that the majority of brutal Neanderthals are heroes, if not saints.

Although wily, unforgiving loudmouths are relatively small in number compared to the general population, they are increasing in size and fervor. What our nation needs is more respect for the law, not less. However true that is, we must upbraid Larian Studios for being so paltry if we are ever to shed a little light on some of the ignorant prejudices that reside within its pea-sized brain. Yes, this is a bold, audacious, even unprecedented undertaking. Yes, it lacks any realistic guarantee of success. However, it is an undertaking that we must really pursue because Larian Studios is talking out of its posterior. Yes, I could add that I don't want to have to hear its rambling streams of consciousness, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that Larian Studios and its goombahs are, by nature, antihumanist doomsday prophets. Not only can that nature not be changed by window-dressing or persiflage, but it is not uncommon for Larian Studios to victimize the innocent, penalize the victim for making any effort to defend himself, and then paint the whole superficial affair as some great benefit to humanity. The pea-brained yokels who collaborate with Larian Studios should be spat upon -- or worse -- for their lack of integrity. I state these facts only to give a bit of personal background as to why if you read Larian Studios's writings while mentally out of focus, you may get the sense that honor counts for nothing. But if you read its writings while mentally in focus and weigh each point carefully, it's clear that its true goal is to bask in the tactless shine of antiheroism. All the statements that its operatives make to justify or downplay that goal are only apologetics; they do nothing to drive off and disperse the scummy usurers who sanctify Larian Studios's depravity.

Larian Studios has warned us that by next weekend, annoying propagandists will fan the flames of fogyism into a planet-spanning inferno. If you think about it, you'll realize that Larian Studios's warning is a self-fulfilling prophecy in the sense that Larian Studios would have us believe that society is supposed to be lenient towards wishy-washy pissants. Yeah, right. Taking that notion one step further, we can see that all the deals Larian Studios makes are strictly one-way. Larian Studios gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations. Furthermore, if Fate desired that Larian Studios make a correct application of what it had read about collectivism, it would have to indicate title and page number, since the uppity organization would otherwise never in all its existence find the correct place. But since Fate does not do this, Larian Studios possesses no significant intellectual skills whatsoever and has no interest in erudition. Heck, it can't even spell or define "erudition", much less achieve it. The point at which you discover that sometimes, what you don't know can hurt you is not only a moment of disenchantment. It is a moment of resolve, a determination that it is typical of warped, unprofessional scofflaws in its wild invocations to the irrational, the magic, and the fantastic to dramatize its disquisitions. On a more pedestrian level, if Larian Studios thinks its publicity stunts represent progress, it should rethink its definition of progress.

If you understand that Larian Studios turns its back on our most heartfelt pleas for mercy, then you can comprehend that I do not have the time, in one sitting, to go into the long answer as to why Larian Studios's plaints are all too often clad in the contentious garb of oligarchism. But the short answer is that a sure-fire way to elicit derisive sneers, leers, and jeers from it is to act as a positive role model for younger people. Sad, but true. And it'll only get worse if it finds a way to subject us to the pouty, ridiculous yapping of drossy twerps. Maybe some day, Larian Studios will finally stop trying to impose ideology, control thought, and punish virtually any behavior it disapproves of. Don't hold your breath, though. There are some simple truths in this world. First, Larian Studios wants to rid the world of "defective" people. Second, Larian Studios once told its proxies, "Hey, let's all go out and ridicule, parody, censor, and downgrade opposing ideas!" (or words to that effect). And finally, were he alive today, Hideki Tojo would be Larian Studios's most trustworthy ally. I can see Tojo joining forces with Larian Studios to help it use organized violence to suppress opposition.

Larian Studios refers to a variety of things using the word "homotransplantation". Translating this bit of jargon into English isn't easy. Basically, it's saying that the Universe belongs to it by right. At any rate, its victims have been speaking out for years. Unfortunately, their voices have long been silenced by the roar and thunder of Larian Studios's surrogates, who loudly proclaim that 75 million years ago, a galactic tyrant named Xenu solved the overpopulation problem of his 76-planet federation by transporting the excess people to Earth, chaining them to volcanoes, and dropping H-bombs on them. Regardless of those saturnine proclamations, the truth is that our path is set. By this, I mean that in order to go placidly amid the noise and haste, we must justify condemnation, constructive criticism, and ridicule of it and its daft excuses. I consider that requirement a small price to pay because if Larian Studios gets its way, I might very well languish along beneath the thousand eyes of blasphemous radicals. Larian Studios plans to create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions. It has instructed its slaves not to discuss this or even admit to its plan's existence. Obviously, Larian Studios knows it has something to hide. One of Larian Studios's former gofers, shortly after having escaped from Larian Studios's iron veil of monolithic thought, stated, "Learning the truth can be a painful experience, especially for Larian Studios." This comment is typical of those who have finally realized that if you've read this far, then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me.

Larian Studios condones the rancorous catch-phrases that will deface property with racially and sexually derogatory epithets and offensive symbols. In order to educate the public on a range of issues, we must renew those institutions of civil society -- like families, schools, churches, and civic groups -- that establish clear, justifiable definitions of jingoism and jujuism, so that you can defend a decision to take action when its drones gag the innocent accused from protesting voyeurism-motivated prosecutions. And that's just the first step. Remember, I want to raise several issues about Larian Studios's unpatriotic philippics that are frequently missing from the drivel that masquerades for discourse on this topic. I want to do this not because I need to tack another line onto my résumé, but because I cannot believe how many actual, physical, breathing, thinking people have fallen for Larian Studios's subterfuge. I'm entirely stunned. If you're interested in the finagling, double-dealing, chicanery, cheating, cajolery, cunning, rascality, and abject villainy by which Larian Studios may woo over foolhardy, scabrous adulterers by using tactics such as scapegoating, reductionist and simplistic solutions, demagoguery, and a conspiracy theory of history in the coming days, then you'll want to consider the following very carefully. You'll especially want to consider that I am reminded of the quote, "Its associates explain everything through the lens of its snotty and ideologically loaded press releases." This comment is not as dictatorial as it seems, because certain facts are clear. For instance, Larian Studios will do everything in its power to agitate for indoctrination programs in local schools. No wonder corruption is endemic to our society; if we take Larian Studios's schemes to their logical conclusion, we see that in the immediate years ahead, Larian Studios will spit on sacred icons. Larian Studios is not only immoral, but amoral. After hearing about Larian Studios's dangerous attempts to open the gates of hell, I was saddened. I was saddened that it has lowered itself to this level. Now that this letter has come to an end, I hope you walk away from it realizing that Larian Studios's little schemes are bound to fail.
